A FILM BY Vincent Garenq

A FILM BY Vincent Garenq

Loosely based on real events, this harrowing, superbly made drama by fast-rising filmmaker Gerardo Naranjo is Mexico’s submission for Best Foreign Language Film — rightfully so

-Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

Matyas Erdely helps the director bring a measure of blood-chilling control to the whole horrific affair, elevating the entire aesthetic in the process.

-Peter Debruge, Variety

Naranjo, a graduate of the American Film Institute, has a gift for staging action that defines character. The film is a harrowing experience. It cuts deep.

-Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Poignant et terriblement prenant.

Synopsis

In 2001, Alain Marécaux and his wife Edith were arrested on accusations of pedophilia — horrific acts they never committed. Vincent Garenq’s disturbing drama inves­tigates the corrupt judicial system under which Alain spent years fighting to get out of prison, clear his name, and keep his family.
